History

Sevier County was organized on October 17, 1828 under legislative authority. It was formed from Hempstead and Miller Counties. Five days later on October 22, 1818, the legislature expanded the county's border, incorporating more land south of the Red River.[4] Hempstead, Miller and Crawford Counties as well as the Choctaw Nation in Indian Territory bound Sevier County. The establishment of Sevier County became effective on November 1, 1828.[5]

The county seat has undergone several changes since Sevier County was organized. The first county seat was Paraclifta. In 1871, the Lockes donated {{convert|120|acre|km2}} of land.

Sevier County is known as "The Land of Lakes", "The Land of Fruits and Flowers" and "The Home of Friendly People". The county has five lakes within a {{convert|35|mi|km|adj=on}} radius, five rivers and mountain streams and forests.
